You know what? I tried several times to write a political diatribe here about my frustration with the Republican Party, but in the end I think I'll just say screw it. Arguing politics is like arguing philosophy. You can go around in circles, spin things this way and that way, but in the end there is no objective right answer. Suffice it to say at this point I almost certainly will vote Obama. As a critical thinker, as a gay man, as a lover of science and reason, and as a secularist/borderline atheist, this makes the most sense to me. Maybe I'm wrong. My parents, especially my dad, think he's the worst thing to happen to the White House since . . . well ever, haha. But I need to do what feels right to me. Feel free to leave your opinions about the election in the comments, but DON'T get nasty about either candidate or party! I get so tired of all the BS rhetoric.
In other news things are going great with Ben. I had another amazing weekend with him, though I sprained my neck somehow and was therefore pretty much down for the count the whole time. But he was very sweet and understanding. I love him :-)

Haha, is "I sprained my neck somehow" a euphemism for sex?
Yes, me too, I'm voting for Obama: 1) he's from Hawaii where I live too, 2) his values are closer to my own, though I do wish he tackle the fiscal issues better, 3) he supports LGBT, and I'm G, 4) he's reasonable and practical, looking for something in the middle though the conservatives demonizes him as a "socialist" (and half the time the people claiming that don't even know what socialism is or when they benefit from socialist style policies, like social security, medicare, deny that these benefits are "socialist").
I'm happy for u and Ben man :-) Hope your neck gets better.
I'm glad you're voting and getting involved. I respect your views even if it is different than mine. I'm looking forward to November 7th.
Oh politics. Neither candidate is perfect, far from it. But I don't think Obama did as poorly as people make him out to have done. And I don't think Romney will have as much of an impact as president if elected that some may fear. That said, my vote is clear.
